License and comments for taco-tool about taco

[fredrikbk]

I've given this a some thought and I'm not sure we should try to license code we generate for the user's expressions. It sounds like shaky legal grounds and I also don't want to antagonize users.

We should discuss this in a meeting, but for now I've added the following to the generated code:

/* Generated by the Tensor Algebra Compiler (tensor-compiler.org) */

The following patch gives us licensing:
